There's a lot of buzz about Facebook Applications these days. Scan drupal.org, groups.drupal.org, even facebook.com and you'll find a lot of interest in how Drupal works with Facebook. But you'll find mostly questions, not clear answers, about what Drupal means to Facebook and vice versa. This is in part because the Facebook API is so new, and in part because there is no prevailing vision of what Drupal <--> Facebook integration really means.

In this session, I'll share my vision of how Drupal and Facebook can work together. Here's a hint: Drupal can and will be the premiere environment for developing Facebook apps. I'll also give a live demonstration, showing a Drupal application become a Facebook App. You'll be pleasantly surprised how easy this can be.

I've written several modules to help Facebook App developers. Between now and the conference, I will check them into Drupal.org. In this session, I will officially unveil a new install profile, tentatively called Drupal for Facebook, and my demo will show how to use it. This is a call to arms for everyone in the Facebook/Drupal community. Let's create the world's most robust and feature-rich Facebook development platform: Drupal.

Here's a brief outline of the talk.

* What is a Facebook App?
* Live Demonstration: Create a Facebook App using Drupal 5.2.
* Introduce Drupal for Facebook.
* Roadmap for future development.
* Q & A.
